How did you do the screens on the sides?
On the sides I had an old kitchen tent with removable walls. I watched YouTube on how to sew, got a machine from my mother-in-law and off I went

Yup, layering and sheer is important in designing for 3D printing. I have been designing for 26 yrs and 3d printing for the last 17. Material, infill, layering and so many other factors go into designing for 3D printing. The parts I am making for the T-Slot are printed with 100% infill to make them stronger.

Mounted my panels earlier this week, completed wiring yesterday (ignore the messy garage).

Im a sucker for ads, but I saw this on instagram, and thought it would be perfect for a GFC setup. I may try it out.

Did you use magnets to hold them on?
I tested the root top carrying capacity… technically still testing it.
10 sheets of sheathing, 16 2x4s, 4 4x4s, and 8 furring strips… the bed is loaded up with 2 swamp coolers, some long range wifi antenna, bags of concrete, paint and tools…

I have the same lights. At night I stick one to my tailgate on motion sense to illuminate when nature calls in the before dawn.
Made some custom ‘slow’ stickers for the back of the truck.
I’ve got 14 left, holler if you want one. $4 shipped anywhere in the US.

WTF is going on here??? Does it wrap all the way around the back? Is it attached to your truck? This would be the sickest backcountry ski base camp!!!

@Dignon There are two big sidewalls that zip to the OVS 270 LT awning. There are some big gaps that will let out heat near the truck, so may not retain enough heat for cold, snowy nights. But it creates a pretty huge protected space (that is dark!). I am gonna just use it for the shoulder seasons because I store my GFC during salting season.

I put this little shelf between the Alu Cab Ammo Box Slide and the back of the cab. My Battle Born battery will be secured to the middle of it. I was going to put all of my electronics on the molle panel but the guys at Tiny Rig Co suggested putting everything on the bottom of the shelf and I really like that. It’s over there right now getting wired and two 126w Xplor panels adhered to the top of my tent. I can’t wait ro ditch the Jackary set up and never worry about having enough juice to run my fridge.

I didn’t really have the time or the resources to figure out a dedicated water system so I went ahead and kept it simple and portable…. Got a dometic Go jug and faucet…. Works excellent and will meet my needs… only con is that the jug is only 3 gallons but I do have space for one more so I could in theory up it to 6 and keep it completely portable. The jugs are on national backorder for another two weeks or so.

I can’t for the life of my remember what company makes it but there is a water tank that fits between the Tacoma wheel well of the truck bed and is below the bed rail height. Anyways, it’s more than 3gal capacity and you can hook up a pump to it.
